The person who wrote the speech is a talented person. Sitting in the car, Xia Yu couldn't help but think that he was able to sort things out so clearly in such a short time and portray him as a loyal F1 fan, so the audience would not be disgusted by the fact that he was standing on the F1 track because of privilege.
Celebrities need a persona, and so do rich people, otherwise they will easily be targeted.
Although Xia Yu is low-key, he still has a very good reputation among the people, and he will continue to maintain it in the future.
“…He is Xia Yu, Mr. Xia!”
After much anticipation from the audience, the announcer finally called out Xia Yu's name.
There was an uproar in the audience. The richest man in Shanghai had arrived, but where were the others?
Everyone stretched their necks to look around, but could not see Xia Yu at all. But at this moment, the image on the big screen focused on an F1 car.
Mercedes' car, number 44, but isn't Hamilton on the float now?
Old Liu was also a little curious. He knew his car best. That was his car last year and it is now a test car. His W12 is still in the P room. So is this Chinese tycoon going to drive the W11 on a track tour?
"Mr. Xia will be our special guest driver, driving the Mercedes-Benz W11 around the Shangsai track for three laps, officially opening the opening ceremony of the 2021 F1 China Grand Prix."
“Dirty~~”
As soon as the announcer finished speaking, Xia Yu drove the W11 onto the track.
So fast!
This was everyone's first impression. They felt that the person driving the car was a professional driver, and the race timer started counting.
When touring the track, it doesn’t matter if you drive slowly, what if you get a good result?
On the F1 live broadcast platform, commentators from various countries began to explain, mainly introducing Xia Yu's resume, but the more they introduced, the more they felt that this guy was a cheater.
Verstappen, who is the same age as him, has not yet won the world championship, but he has already earned billions of dollars and replaced Zha Zha to become the youngest richest man in the world.
The Xia Group is developing so rapidly that in a few years, we can expect to become the real richest man in the world.
He is such a person, who would have thought that his driving skills are so good? Xia Yu passed the parade float and completed the first lap in 1 minute and 57 seconds!
It's a bit slow, but this data is enough to make a professional F1 driver.
The commentator, the audience, and all the drivers on the float were shocked by Xia Yu.
It is said that you should not use your amateurism to challenge other people's professionalism, but now you have been slapped in the face!
There really are geniuses (hackers) in this world, and this is Xia Yu without the buff and not very familiar with the car.
If it was his W08 or his F2002, he would definitely be able to run it within 1 minute 40 seconds. If he was faster, he would have to be cheating. Strong physical fitness and a little bit of talent can offset a certain amount of practice, but cannot offset all the accumulation.
“Dirty~~”
Xia Yu started his second lap, striving for a better result.
"Look at how skillfully he handled that turn. I can't believe he's just an amateur."
The commentator couldn't help but yell, disbelief written all over his face.
Xia Yu is a real amateur. He just shaved more laps in the last race. He is more familiar with this place than his own track. To be pretentious, he can drive on many sections with his eyes closed.
"1 minute 51 seconds 634!"
The results of the second lap came out, instantly igniting the emotions of the audience.
"Xia Yu! Xia Yu! Xia Yu!"
Everyone shouted Xia Yu's name in unison. At this moment, he was the racing god in everyone's heart. Even Bottas' fastest lap time of 1 minute 31 seconds 547 two days ago was not as good as him.
Xia Yu felt great. Tens of thousands of people were shouting his name. He finally understood why those stars wanted to be famous so much. Making a lot of money was only one aspect. The feeling of being admired was really addictive.
Unfortunately, he is not a star, he is just an amateur racer, and it is exciting to show off and then run!
“Dirty~~”
After spending three laps to thoroughly familiarize himself with the performance of the W11, Xia Yu began to challenge his final lap.
In the paddock in front of the main stand, Wolff, who suggested that Xia Yu drive the racing car for a tour, was a little confused. He seemed to have made an extraordinary suggestion.
Ji Yang next to him was not surprised. He had known that Xia Yu was a pervert. Do you think he only knows how to drive an F1 car? He can also fly a fighter jet!
Up to now, Xia Yu has only revealed the tip of the iceberg, and more things are still hidden beneath the surface, making people want to get to know him better.
"1 minute 46.734 seconds!"
Xia Yu crossed the finish line, the timer froze, and Mick Schumacher on the float held his forehead with his hand.
Even if this result doesn't reach the first tier, it's still better than him. He obviously just wants to revive the Schumacher family name, so why did he encounter such a pervert after an unfavorable debut!
Weak, pitiful, and helpless!
Braking to a stop in front of the paddock, Xia Yu climbed out of the cockpit, took off his helmet and hood, and opened his arms to face all the spectators.
Where is the applause?
Where are the cheers?
Everyone present applauded Xia Yu, who brought the best opening to the 2021 F1 Chinese Grand Prix. The traffic of the two collided together, achieving a win-win effect.
"See, he's even more charming than Musk. Chinese people will like him."
"No, not only Chinese people, he has many fans abroad as well."
Two foreign reporters were talking in the middle of the scene. They had just finished writing the press release and sent it back, and were now talking about Xia Yu!
There are more similar discussions online. The popularity of Xia Yu appearing on the Forbes list a few days ago has not subsided yet, and today such big news broke out again. If the system calculates reputation upgrades, then he must have upgraded by seven or eight levels.
